Max out your chances for victory with Campfire!
Campfire makes it easier than ever to find both Max Battles and other Trainers to help you take them on. View nearby Max Battle and Flare activity within Pokémon GO by tapping the green icon under the compass in the top right of the map view, and check out meetups online on the Campfire Map!
Max Mushrooms
The Max Mushroom is an item that temporarily doubles all damage that your Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon deal in Max Battles. You can use multiple Max Mushrooms consecutively to increase the effect’s duration, but doing so will not increase the damage multiplier.
You can use a Max Mushroom from your Item Bag while you’re in a Max Battle lobby. You can also see whether other Trainers in the lobby have activated Max Mushrooms.
